Aura Power’s proposal to develop a solar farm – Kemble

To Crudwell residents, in particular those in Chelworth

We have received information from A. The area of land being considered for the solar farm is on the Bathurst Estate, southwest of Kemble and northwest of Chelworth. The site lies within both Cotswold District Council and Wiltshire Council and the parishes of Kemble and Ewen and Crudwell with Oaksey as the neighbouring parish.

Aura Power is going to conduct a public consultation and is seeking feedback on the proposal from the local community and interested parties.

Because of the current restrictions due to social distancing, it will be a virtual consultation event online to provide further information on the proposed solar farm and the environmental studies that have taken place to date. A recording will be made available to watch for those who can not attend.

Please see attached copy of the flyer that has been distributed to roughly 580 residences in the immediate vicinity of the project. Further information is available on our website where you can also register for the online event: www.aurapower.co.uk/kemble-solar-farm

I have copied all the information received, in the pictures below this post. To register for the event, please to go the Aurapower website, shown above.

Parish Council Meetings & Muck-In Postponed

Due to the recent change in Government recommendations regarding Coronavirus the Parish Council is unlikely to be able to meet in the near future. The council is taking guidance from the National Association of Local Councils who have a dedicated web page at https://www.nalc.gov.uk/coronavirus. Should Parishioners have specific issues they can contact the Chairman Please switch on JavaScript to see our email address or phone 577615.

Please note that the Parish Muck-in planned for Saturday the 4th April has also been postponed in the light of the current situation. It would though be helpful if parishioners could assist in clearing litter from there own areas where possible.
